Opis

This book shows that Scripture can stand firm alongside scientific knowledge. Someday most Christians will accept many of the conclusions that I have written about. This book contributes to a paradigm shift. It will have the same kind of acceptance that the heliocentric view of earth rather than the geocentric view now has. An informed and faithful view of scripture and a scientific view of the cosmos can be reconciled. God's revealed word should not be thrown out with the casting of the naturalistic die of science that shows the Bible to be a human book. Nor should the compelling evidence of science be ignored by turning the Bible into a supernatural book of magic. God's hidden heart is communicated in Scripture, and God's hidden hand is communicated in the cosmos, but both are known through a faith experience and relationship with God. This is what I am willing to defend. John D. Stahl (MA, Ph.D and MAR) is a retired educator, administrator, pastor, and consultant.
